Evaluation

Kingdom of Night launched on December 2, 2025 after a long development that began in 2019. Since launch, the developer (Friends of Safety) has maintained an active and consistent update cadence, shipping six patches in roughly six months. These updates have ranged from meaningful gameplay additions — a new mouse targeting system, raised level cap, new crafting recipes, Steam Workshop integration for fan translations, and official Traditional and Simplified Chinese localization — to quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Steam Trading Cards and community items were added in April 2026. The most recent update posted on May 18, 2026 included performance improvements and bug fixes. In that same April 2026 post, the developer stated "there's more to come," signaling continued engagement with the game. No specific future DLC or expansions have been announced, and there are no unreleased DLC listings on the store, but the sustained post-launch update pattern and the developer's own words indicate the game is still being actively worked on.

About this game

One night, in 1987, in the small town of Miami, Arizona, a satanic cult unwittingly summons the ancient evil, Baphomet, catapulting the town into chaos. John, awoken by the kidnapping of his neighbor, sets out into the night to fight back against the demonic invasion and rescue his friends before it's too late...

Take control of John as his adventure leads him through an hour-by-hour experience of what could be everyone's last night on Earth. As John, you will encounter unearthly evils, Demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, high school bullies, and a torrent of engaging, serial-like side stories – all nested in a larger-than-life fantasy that brings the ultimate evil to a neighborhood near you.

Choose your class, customize your abilities, and battle nightmarish creatures as you collect unique gear in order to infiltrate the massive lairs of Demon lords that have taken over the town.

Save Miami

Take down the town’s demons as you get closer to unraveling Baphomet’s grip on Miami. Explore the entire map of the town, interact with a wide cast of NPCs and take on the Demon Generals in the order that you wish.

Choose Your Class

Choose from 5 different classes: Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer and Sorcerer. Each class excels differently, providing a unique play style depending on your choice. The class you choose decides your base style, while the skill trees allow for further customization.

Shape Your Character

Skill trees are split into three branches, containing 10 different talents each. As you level up, spend allotted points into any of the three branches of your class. Once you have reached level 10 in your first branch, you are free to cross over into another branch, allowing you to fully customize your play style.

Hoard the Best Gear

Outfit yourself with new equipment via quest rewards, hidden items throughout the town, and scoring random drops from a multi-tiered loot system with variable drop rates. Items range from common to completely unique. The items you collect provide an extra dimension to character stat development and have special abilities that will make you even more powerful.

Co-op With Your Friends

You don’t have to face the forces of darkness by yourself. In Kingdom of Night, either play through the campaign as John alone, or with a friend in local co-op. Team up and synergize different character classes, becoming a torrent of annihilation that the underworld will fear.
